Disposable apparatus for containing and cleaning contact lenses

Abstract

A hermetically sealable envelope having an open end for containing one or more contact lenses. The envelope is divided into one or more lens containing compartments and one or more fluid containing compartments. One or more ports are formed by the envelope to facilitate communication between each of the one or more fluid containing compartments and selected one or more of the lens containing compartments. One or more flexible balloons, having a quantity of lens care solution contained therein, are encased within the one or more fluid containing compartments. The contact lenses to be cleaned are placed in selected ones of the contact lens containing compartments which are thereafter hermetically sealed by closing a tongue and groove closure defining an upper end of the flexible envelope. After sealing the contact lenses within the envelope, manual pressure is exerted against the selected ones of the one or more balloons to burst the selected balloons and thereby dispense the lens care solution contained therein through the ports and within the lens containing compartments to treat and clean the contact lenses contained therein.
